Corneal collagen crosslinking in post-LASIK keratectasia.
BACKGROUND/AIMS To evaluate the effect of corneal collagen crosslinking with riboflavin and UV-A as a treatment option for postlaser in situ keratomileusis keratectasia. METHODS Crosslinking was carried out in 22 eyes of 15 patients with iatrogenic keratectasia. Follow-up, according to a standardised protocol (uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), slit-lamp ex...
متن کاملCorneal Collagen Crosslinking for Keratectasia after Laser in situ Keratomileusis: A Review of the Literature
Corneal ectasia is a serious vision-threatening complication of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). It is associated with progressive corneal steepening, an increase in myopia and astigmatism, and decrease in uncorrected visual acuity. Before LASIK presence of risk factors (corneal thickness, refractive error, presence of clinical and subclinical corneal pathologies) should be studied so pati...

متن کاملCorneal collagen cross-linking for keratoconus and post-LASIK ectasia.
Introduction. To determine the effect of corneal collagen cross-linking treatment on keratoconus and post-LASIK ectasia particularly after an abbreviated exposure to ultraviolet light exposure. Materials and methods. Fifty-one eyes of 34 patients were treated with epithelium-off UVA-riboflavin corneal collagen cross-linking for either 20 minutes or 30 minutes as part of a US.FDA clinical study....
متن کاملPost-LASIK ectasia treated with intrastromal corneal ring segments and corneal crosslinking.
Corneal ectasia is a serious complication of laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). We report the case of a 29-year-old man who underwent LASIK in both eyes and in whom corneal ectasia developed in the left eye 3 years after surgery. He was treated sequentially with intraocular pressure-lowering medication, intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS) implants, and collagen cross-linking. Vision imp...
